My card today features one of my favourite stamp sets from last year - Lawn Fawn Out of this World. I’d made some galaxy backgrounds a while back and still have a few left, so began by diecutting a circle of galaxy for my card.

Upon A Star Glow In The Dark
When I saw the WOW glow in the dark embossing powder, I just had to get some to make cards for my nieces and nephew. This embossing powder is perfect paired with the Lawn Fawn Upon a Star stamp set. I actually made 4 of these cards, and worked on all of them at the… Continue reading Upon A Star Glow In The Dark
Sleeping Beauty Box Pop-Up Card
Today I'm sharing the pop-up box card I've made for my niece's 4th birthday. I was inspired by one of her favourite Disney princesses, Sleeping Beauty.

I want to share my love of papercrafts with them and… Continue reading Mother’s Day Crafting with Children

I added some Wink of Stella glitter to the… Continue reading Cinderella Birthday Card
Totoro 2nd Birthday
My nephew is a fan of the Studio Ghibli movies, and 'My Neighbour Totoro' is a favourite. For his 2nd birthday, I made him a Totoro card. I sketched a design based around Totoro sitting amongst leaves, as if in a tree, holding two balloons. I drew Totoro as a vector illustration and printed him… Continue reading Totoro 2nd Birthday
